Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea, will now depart for Italy today to travel there for his AS Roma medical following a mutually beneficial loan agreement between the player, the club, and the latter.
The departure of Lukaku will now give Chelsea the room and resources to make a major move for another forward player, with Jadon Sancho of Manchester United being one of the players that the Chelsea board has been considering.
As Mauricio Pochettino searches for a goalscorer and creator who can support Nicolas Jackson while Christopher Nkunku is injured, Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe and other forward players have also been brought up.
Additionally, according to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal wants to sell Holding this week.
The Italian journalist said on Twitter that Sevilla and Real Mallorca, two Spanish teams, have inquired about a possible transfer for the 27-year-old English central defender.
The former Manchester player can play as a number 10 or even out wide when necessary, and he is the appropriate age for the Chelsea project.
The Blues manager affirmed that he was looking for a different forward who could fit the bill. Yes, he replied, “if we can add the correct profile; nevertheless, we shouldn’t bring in people just to add one more. We don’t want to halt Broja and Nkunku’s development as young men.
The Blues have enjoyed a respectable start to the league campaign with one victory, one draw, and three losses.
